This is a heads-up to anyone currently using IntraVnews or who is thinking about using IntraVnews as an RSS reader. I saw the program recently on Angie Moore's desktop and thought it seemed really useful. It's an RSS reader plug-in for Outlook and its best feature is that it treats the feeds like email messages, so you end up with an archived history that is sortable.

There is a small problem with it, however. Namely, that the My Subscriptions feed from the iMIS Community will not resolve in version 2.0 (beta) of the product. (Angie is using version 1.2, in which the feed does resolve okay.)

The problem is that the company who makes the product tells you to use the 2.0 beta if you have the .NET Framework 2.0. Which I do. So these are some issues to consider if you are tempted to try the program. It might first be worth checking whether you have the .NET Framework 2.0 on your system. Hopefully by the time the 2.0 version goes live, they'll have ironed out the bug that I encountered.
